I went to SCSU with Jim. We lived on the same floor in Chase Hall. When I heard he passed away, I was shocked and saddened. He was one of the nicest human beings that one could hope to count amongst one's friends. We reconnected on Facebook and would chat often. Please know that I have your family in my players.
